[net.garden] help with daffodils

I have about 2 dozen daffodil bulbs which bloomed very nicely the last two
years.  Last summer, we put a deck over their space so I pulled them up
(that was in late June), stored them in a net bag until September, and
planted them in the planter boxes on the deck.  The soil mix was about 1/3
steer manure and 2/3 potting soil.  The boxes have a grating bottom so I think
the drainage is adequate.  The daffodils all came up about 2 inches and
quit growing.  The tulips, crocuses, and irises in the same box all look
great.  Everyone else's daffodils have bloomed so it is not the weather.
Anyone have an idea as to what happened?  Will they bloom next year or should
I but new bulbs?
